The page is a single-column layout with five sections: P&L Display Mode, Breakeven Threshold, Tags, Custom Columns, and Column Visibility.

Scope Toggle (Global vs. Per-Account)

P&L Display Mode and Breakeven Threshold both support a scope toggle:

ScopeBehavior
All Accounts (global)The setting applies to every account unless an account override exists
Account NameOverrides the global setting for that specific account only

Switch scope by clicking the toggle at the top of the section. When viewing a per-account override, a Reset button appears — clicking it removes the override and reverts to the global value.

P&L Display Mode

Choose how profit and loss values are shown throughout the app.

Four options, presented as radio button cards:

ModeDescription
CurrencyP&L in the account's settlement currency (USD, EUR, etc.)
Ticks (1 Lot)P&L in instrument units (ticks, pips, points, cents) normalized to 1 standard lot. Label adapts to the asset class.
Ticks (Sized)P&L in instrument units scaled to your actual position size
PercentageReturn as a percentage of equity

Percentage mode requires at least one account transaction to calculate equity. The first transaction is the account's starting balance and may be 0 for prop or unfunded accounts. If no transactions exist, the option is disabled with the hint: "Add a starting balance to enable percentage mode."

Breakeven Threshold

Define the range around zero where a trade is classified as "breakeven" instead of a win or loss.

Breakeven threshold configuration
Breakeven threshold configuration
  • Unit toggle — switch between an absolute currency amount ($) and a percentage of equity (%).
  • Value input — currency: $0 to $1,000,000. Percentage: 0% to 100%. Set to 0 to disable the breakeven zone entirely.
  • Visual indicator — a horizontal bar showing three colored zones: red (Loser) | gray (Breakeven) | green (Winner). The bar adjusts dynamically as you change the threshold value.

Scope toggle works the same as P&L Display Mode (see above).

Column visibility is a global setting — it applies to all accounts. Hidden columns retain their data; toggling them back on restores the values.
